Former Chelsea ace slams Jose Mourinho over his treatment of John Terry

Terry, who was widely regarded as the one of the Premier League Champions' star performers last season, has had indifferent start to the 2015-16 campaign and has spent the last two league games on the bench.

Recently, reports have suggested that Terry and Mourinho have had a major bust-up, something the Portuguese has vehemently denied.

Cundy, who spent four years at Stamford Bridge, is disappointed with Mourinho's decision to leave the former England skipper on the sidelines and believes the Special One is treating the 34-year-old 'unfairly'.
